Switching Sides

EXCLUSIVE!

[Blind Gossip] This newsy person at a liberal news channel has been making quiet inquiries into moving over to a conservative news network.

[They are asking for their] own, one-hour show and a few million more a year than their current job.

It is unclear whether they are planning to “switch sides” and suddenly declare themselves a conservative (which would be surprising)… or if they are planning to remain a liberal and believes that the conservative network would air a show that espouses a liberal point of view (which would be also be surprising).

Rachel Madcow? I think she’s BSNBC’s highest rated show, so I could see her making a move to Fox, who reportedly pays more. I could see Fox hiring her too. Another possibility is Tamron Hall. At one point it was rumored that Anderson Cooper was flirting with moving to Fox, but he gets more than an hour on CNN, so I don’t know if he would really move.

I don’t care much whether Fox hires him or her. I think Fox has gone downhill since Murdoch’s sons took over.

Newsy Guy could be Anderson Cooper.
Liberal network : CNN
Conservative network FOX
Fox would probably hire him. There are liberals and Independents at Fox which is why I like it. Lots of feisty debates that are pretty fair and balanced. I think Cooper would do fine there.

Anderson Cooper? I don’t think he is “changing sides.” I do however think he realizes how far CNN has fallen in the eyes of the public. Fox is more middle of the road then it used to be now that the Murdoch sons are running the outlet.

Thomas is under appreciated and not given his due props as a top anchor/news guy. Maybe because he’s so handsome, it becomes a liability and gives Roberts a “HIMBO” vibe.
If this blind is about Cooper, MEH already. A.C. is overrated, over exposed and I’m so over him! Both men are openly gay and xenophobic FOX needs to mix it up.

I’m going to guess Willie Geist of MSNBC. He’s on Morning Joe (ties to the related blind) and he got a raw deal from the Today Show, essentially getting moved out to make room for Billy Bush. I’m sure he had his eye on Matt Lauer’s job and it doesn’t look like he’s getting that any time soon, despite his likeability and talent.

I’m guessing he’s aiming for FOX, since they could use some new faces after the events of the past couple years.
